Andrew Francis Wakely (born 10 January 1987) plays the drums alongside Abingdon in Icarus Burning, The Clik Clik, and Perfect People. Many of the groups early songs, including the "TiK ToK " parody and "Daddy", make comedic reference to Wakely's actual supposed feelings of abandonment towards his father. As described in "Daddy", his father left the house on Christmas Eve to pick up some milk at the store, and never returned. Wakely eventually discovered that his father had left him and his mother to run off and start a family with their Spanish housekeeper.
